Historically, Unitarian Universalism combined the belief that God is one (Unitarian) and that all are saved (Universalist).

We are a religious movement that embraces varieties of religious thought and practice including but not limited to Humanism, Christianity, Judaism, Paganism, Mysticism, and Religious Naturalism.

We draw on the sources and sacred texts of the world’s major traditions to inspire us. In poetry and music, we have found a language of awe and wonder.

We are a community of questioners and seekers; a religious tradition that espouses no one truth but recognizes many truths; a community that values equally the intellect and reason, intuition and reverence.

Ours is a faith that seeks to do justice and to heal our broken world.

For us, church is about meaning making, articulating and deepening one’s faith, beliefs, and spirituality.

UU Principles

Unitarian Universalists hold the Principles as strong values and moral teachings. As Rev. Barbara Wells ten Hove, founding minister of our congregation, explains, “The Principles are not dogma or doctrine, but rather a guide for those of us who choose to join and participate in Unitarian Universalist religious communities.”

5th Principle: The right of conscience and the use of the democratic process within our congregations and in society at large;

6th Principle: The goal of world community with peace, liberty, and justice for all;

7th Principle: Respect for the interdependent web of all existence of which we are a part.

WUUC Covenant

Unitarian Universalists have at their core a commitment to the idea of covenant: the free and voluntary bond of the heart and spirit that we each make to the church community. As the Rev. Dr. Rebecca Parker writes, “Covenant is, first-most, not a verbal agreement but a practice.”

We come together in the spirit of love,
creating sacred space to
share life’s transitions, embrace diversity, and grow our spirits.
As we tell our stories and deepen our bonds,
we share our hearts and help to heal the world.
